今天手懒，看了一些SAP HANA 的一些外文介绍，不翻译了，直接剽窃过来，供参考。
1. HANA 是什么东西？
“HANA doesn't actually mean anything, but some people have coined the phrase High performance ANalytical Appliance, and as this name suggests, it is not just some software you can install. The SAP HANA system comprises both the software and the hardware necessary to function. By selling SAP HANA as a complete system of its own SAP HANA database on certified hardware supplied by partners such as IBM, HP, and Dell, SAP can guarantee some level of performance”.
说白了，就是软硬件的结合体，它需要其他认证的服务器厂商的支持。
2.SAP HANA 体系架构。
3. HANA 是基于列存储的DBMS.
4.在个人PC上，只能安装HANA的client端的软件，Server端只能装在IBM，HP，Dell等服务器上。client端安装在本地后，需要配置与服务器端连接的IP，用户名，密码等信息。
